    Sitting on the train at the moment, and I just noticed that the pocket on my pants is covered in kebab sauce from last night’s revelries. Also I’m feeling a bit worse for wear due to the six pints of Guinness and chicken kebab afterwards.

    People on Instagram who show you how to cook a meal, then smugly try it and go Mmmmm.

    Yes

    Doubly annoying if they

    1/ use "Admin Assist" which randomly rejects posts

    2/ allow anonymous posters

    Always amazes me that there is a category of people who like going into nature and spending time there, but also deliberately destroy it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,746 ✭✭✭✭lawred2


    Usually sorts who'll have posted all manner of shoite to Instagram while 'enjoying' nature

    Sunday lunch with family then at 3.10pm almost as the main course is finished the phone rings.

    have people got absolutely no cop on…? Sunday mid afternoon in 90% of Irish households there is a thing called a traditional ‘Sunday lunch’… usually a roast, followed by a nice dessert where diligent preparation, relaxation, enjoyment and good conversation are the mainstays of the experience.

    Post 6 pm the vast majority of people are sitting with their feet up, in front of the TV, just chilling, won’t be averse to a phonecall or two… 3.10 in the afternoon….. come on ! Sort yourself out ! 😵‍💫

    If it's a landline take it off the hook.

    Mobiles on silent in the other room.

    If it's not agreeable to the rest of your dining party you just have to accept that they give whoever is ringing them a higher priority than the people who are actually in the room with them. If this is the case you need to manage your expectations (my mam would always take the call to the point I just started bringing my food into the sitting room, that way my meal wasn't disturbed by a one sided conversation every single night)

    If you've missed calls ,ring person back at time convenient to you and clearly explain 3-5 on Sundays is family dinner time. They'll eventually get the message if no one picks up the phone. (Again unless it's my mother who would then ring you at 14:57....well it's before 3 🙄)

    People who think the sun shines out of their dog's arse.

    Was at a dog friendly market and while the concept is good, there is always a breed or two that just don't get along with other dogs and go spare barking. One dog was constantly barking at everything that moved in its vicinity- its not fair for other patrons, especially those who might be wary of dogs. But surely the owners know this advance and shouldn't bring them to such an environment?

    I also saw an owner allow his dog cock the leg against a public bench that someone maybe sitting on to eat food.

    Speaking of dogs, I happened to see on sky news today a bunch of people putting their dogs on little surf boards in the sea having a race or something. I don't like dogs at all, I think their the most irritating pet you could have, but dropping them in the sea is just abuse. The same people would probably be campaigning against animal cruelty etc.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,746 ✭✭✭✭lawred2


    Maybe that explains why most dog owners don't pick up dog shoite. They've confused it for sunshine.

    People repeating themselves . . . Someone tells you about some mundane incident that happened at the checkout till in Tesco or lidl (don't know as I wasn't really listening) and they keep repeating said incident to anyone within earshot to try and prove the point that they were right and the other party involved was wrong. Then they ring their sister and spend fifteen minutes explaining the same experience . . five minutes later the sister lands at the house and they spend the next half hour dissecting every detail over and over again.

    You think it's finally finished with but no . . . they ring the mother on speaker phone.

    Jo Malone stuff. It's ridiculously overpriced and all smells like hideous old-lady perfume.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,392 ✭✭✭Princess Calla


    I'm kinda intrigued as to what the incident was! 😂



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,190 ✭✭✭Deregos.


    Like I say, I've developed an incredible form of selective hearing, so I don't know the details of the incident . . and I certainly won't be asking them to explain it all again.

    Bank holiday so loads of people are posting on local Facebook groups asking "Is X business open today?"

    They're asking because the businesses' websites / Facebook pages don't have this information to hand.

    Surely it isn't difficult to put up a bank holiday trading hours notice or a pinned post outlining when exactly they're open?

    If in doubt, don't go out and just order what you want online.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,387 ✭✭✭✭suvigirl


    Wow! Dogs are the most irritating pet? I have no idea how you think this? They are the most lovable, loyal, keen to please, live in the moment, happy pets ever!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,020 ✭✭✭✭pgj2015


    The way all adverts show so many different races in the advert, its so unrealistic for Ireland and it makes me dislike the Companies as I see right through it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,387 ✭✭✭✭suvigirl


    Dont know where you live in Ireland, but adverts with many different races, looks completely normal to me.

    Tuesday morning and back into work. Where did the Bank Holiday weekend go



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,179 ✭✭✭✭AndyBoBandy


    When you go into Tesco with the intention of using the 'Scan as you shop' barcode scanner, so naturally enough you have your club card in hand ready to scan and pick up a handset……

    but the woman immediately in front of you at the handset release station only has her club card on her phone, but only takes the phone out of her bag when she gets to the scanner station, and has a quick browse through her notifications before looking for the Tesco app, and oh, it's in here somewhere…… on page 3 I think…..

    all the while I'm there waiting like a spare tool building up a rage the likes of which have never been seen before!!

    HOW ABOUT HAVE YOUR CLUBCARD READY WHEN YOU ARRIVE AT THE SCANNER STATION

    Flew to Amsterdam this morning, now on a train to The Hague. No, I’m not on trial for war crimes, I think. The trains here have a tag-on system similar to the Luas, except that it’s called “Check-In”. Which is a bit confusing at Schipol airport: I’m just off a flight, hadn’t planned on checking in again yet. The train conductor was quite used to first-time visitors like me getting it wrong, of course.

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    Me too when they take a cash till and only then take their phone out of their bag to scroll through for ages to find the pay app(or what ever they are using)

    Seriously tho, how can ppl think that is faster than cash!

    I've never been behind a woman at an ATM that didn't take 20 years to get out cash.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,776 ✭✭✭✭Strumms


    😵‍💫 errrr I was just expressing my TA as is the done thing in this thread… I wasn’t soliciting a critique from anyone…thanks.

    TA for today…. No sunscreen left…. Was only in Boots a few days ago but was sure I had a spare… I still think I had, it must have walked.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,392 ✭✭✭Princess Calla


    When someone complains about the same thing over and over and over and over and over and over again.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,390 ✭✭✭Bredabe


    Really? I find them threatening and get out asap. Ta indoor atm's where men choose to continue their phone calls as they do whatever and hold the rest of us up. Looking at you aib encouraging this beh by not having enough staff on the counter at pinch points.

    …… fancied wearing a tshirt that was at the bottom of a neatly folded pile on a shelf in my wardrobe…. and somehow managed in my haste to carelessly topple most of the pile over so had to spend 3 minutes re-folding / rearranging half the pile …. 🤐 didn’t help I was was trying to grab the t-shirt one handed as I was carrying stuff in the other hand.

    My dark brown jumper which i thought was clean and wore to work turned out to have a big white mark, like bleach burn, exactly on the left nipple.

    I do not like to draw attention to my moobs :(
